(Radio Iowa) — You may be able to see meteors in the eastern skies tonight (Thursday) if you have clear weather. Physics and Astronomy Professor Todd Young at Wayne State College in Nebraska, says a brief meteor storm will take place beginning at 10:30 p-m where you can see quite a sky show. “The rate would be upwards of 400 per hour. Quite a dramatic jump from a shower — which is usually somewhere around ten to maybe 30 per hour,” Young says.

Meteors are debris left behind by comets and Young says this storm is from an unknown comet that probably hasn’t been seen for over 500 years. It is suspected to be the debris of a long period comet from the Oort Cloud that surrounds the solar system. “And the Oort Cloud is actually a spherical distribution of chunks of ice and rocks that are much farther away than people realize,”Young says. “And the Oort cloud is usually not typically depicted as being part of the solar system because it is so far from the sun — yet still part of it.”

Young says the meteor storm will be visible low to the horizon, so viewers will want to be up high and away from city lights. He says you should go out and scout out a good view of the eastern horizon on a hill by 10:30. “You’ll see these streaks of light. They’ll look like they’ll be coming right over the horizon.” The meteor storm is expected to be short lived, lasting only 15 to 45 minutes.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Officials say more than two dozen animals have been removed from a feces-filled home of a hoarder in Des Moines. The Animal Rescue League of Iowa says it took 21 dogs and five cats and kittens from the house Tuesday. A news release says the animals were “crawling with fleas and reeking of urine.” Feces and trash were found all over the living space.

The release says the dogs’ nails were so overgrown it was impossible for them to walk comfortably, and at least six of the dogs “will need extensive behavioral rehabilitation before they’re ready for new homes.” It’s unclear whether the person or people living with the animals will face any criminal charges.
